[pct-l] Bandana on wide brim hat

[Ken Powers]

Yes. This is a scheme I use. My hat is a Tilley hat. It has a chin strap 
that weaves thru eyelets in the crown of the hat. I simply tie an end of a 
bandana to the strap where it is exposed on each side of the hat. Then the 
bandana hangs down to my shoulders behind the hat. I like this approach 
because it allows the air to move thru below the hat brim. If the sun angle 
changes to expose my neck I simply tuck a hanging corner under the shoulder 
strap of my backpack.

Another advantage of the Tilley hat is that they carry a life-time 
guarantee. I am on my 4th hat after receiving the original as a birthday 
present. Now that is a good investment.

Thanks.  One option that I’m considering is to use a standard wide-brimmed 
hat (I have a couple that I like), and attach a bandana to serve as neck 
protection.  Can’t quite figure out if the bandana would offer enough UV 
protection or exactly how to attach it to the hat.  Anyone have any 
experience with this scheme?
